An optical photographing lens assembly includes six lens elements, in order from an object side to an image side, the six lens elements are a first lens element, a second lens element, a third lens element, a fourth lens element, a fifth lens element and a sixth lens element.

The first lens element has positive refractive power. Therefore, a total track length of the optical photographing lens assembly can be reduced.

The third lens element can have an object-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof and an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, astigmatism of the optical photographing lens assembly can be corrected.

The fourth lens element has negative refractive power. Therefore, aberrations of the optical photographing lens assembly can be corrected. The fourth lens element can have an image-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, the relative illumination in a peripheral region of an image surface can be enhanced by cooperation between the fourth lens element and lens elements in the object side. Moreover, the image-side surface of the fourth lens element can have at least one concave shape in an off-axis region thereof. Therefore, the area of the region with enhanced illumination can be expanded.

The fifth lens element has an object-side surface being concave in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, high-order aberrations can be favorably corrected. Moreover, the fifth lens element can have positive refractive power. Therefore, sufficient light converging capability of the optical photographing lens assembly can be provided such that the total track length of the optical photographing lens assembly can be favorably reduced and a compact size can be achieved.

The sixth lens element has an image-side surface being convex in a paraxial region thereof. Therefore, a sufficient back focal length can be provided, such that the illumination on the image surface can be enhanced and the mechanism can be designed more flexibly. In addition, at least one of an object-side surface and the image-side surface of the sixth lens element can include at least one inflection point in an off-axis region thereof. Therefore, off-axis aberrations can be favorably corrected. Moreover, the sixth lens element can have negative refractive power, and at least one of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the sixth lens element can include at least one critical point. Therefore, the peripheral aberration can further be corrected to increase the image quality.

Moreover, at least one lens element of the fifth lens element and the sixth lens element has positive refractive power and an Abbe number less than 30. Therefore, a balance between astigmatism and chromatic aberration can be favorably achieved. Preferably, the at least one lens element has the Abbe number less than 20.

When a focal length of the second lens element is f2, and a focal length of the fourth lens element is f4, the following condition can be satisfied: −0.90<f4/f|2|≤0.

Preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: −0.70<f4/|f2|≤0.

When a focal length of the optical photographing lens assembly is f, and an axial distance between an object-side surface of the first lens element and the image surface is TL, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.50<TL/f<1.0.

Preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.75<TL/f<1.0.

When a total number of lens elements having Abbe numbers less than 40 is V40, the following condition can be satisfied: 3≤V40. Therefore, a balance between astigmatism and chromatic aberration can be favorably achieved. Preferably, when a total number of lens elements having Abbe numbers less than 30 is V30, the following condition can be satisfied: 3≤V30. More preferably, when a total number of lens elements having Abbe numbers less than 25 is V25, the following condition can be satisfied: 2≤V25.

When an axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is Td, and an axial distance between the image-side surface of the sixth lens element and the image surface is BL, the following condition can be satisfied: 2.5<Td/BL<10. Therefore, the back focal length of the optical photographing lens assembly can be reduced so as to achieve a compact size and obtain an easier cooperation with other wide-angle lens assemblies. Preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 4.0<Td/BL<8.0.

Maximum effective radii of an object-side surface and the image-side surface of the fourth lens element have smaller values than maximum effective radii of object-side surfaces and image-side surfaces of the first lens element, the second lens element, the third lens element, the fifth lens element and the sixth lens element. Therefore, diameter of the optical photographing lens assembly can be limited such that a compact size can be achieved and the optical photographing lens assembly can be applied to thinner electronic devices. Specifically, when the maximum effective radius of the object-side surface of the first lens element is Y11, the maximum effective radius of the image-side surface of the first lens element is Y12, the maximum effective radius of the object-side surface of the second lens element is Y21, the maximum effective radius of the image-side surface of the second lens element is Y22, the maximum effective radius of the object-side surface of the third lens element is Y31, the maximum effective radius of the image-side surface of the third lens element is Y32, the maximum effective radius of the object-side surface of the fourth lens element is Y41, the maximum effective radius of the image-side surface of the fourth lens element is Y42, the maximum effective radius of the object-side surface of the fifth lens element is Y51, the maximum effective radius of the image-side surface of the fifth lens element is Y52, the maximum effective radius of the object-side surface of the sixth lens element is Y61, and the maximum effective radius of the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is Y62, the following conditions can be satisfied: Y41/Y11<1.0; Y41/Y12<1.0; Y41/Y21<1.0; Y41/Y22<1.0; Y41/Y31<1.0; Y41/Y32<1.0; Y41/Y51<1.0; Y41/Y52<1.0; Y41/Y61<1.0; Y41/Y62<1.0; Y42/Y11<1.0; Y42/Y12<1.0; Y42/Y21<1.0; Y42/Y22<1.0; Y42/Y31<1.0; Y42/Y32<1.0; Y42/Y51<1.0; Y42/Y52<1.0; Y42/Y61<1.0; and Y42/Y62<1.0.

When a focal length of the third lens element is f3, the focal length of the fourth lens element is f4, a focal length of the fifth lens element is f5, and a focal length of the sixth lens element is f6, the following conditions can be satisfied: −1.0<f4/|f3|<0; −1.0<f4/|f5|<0; and −1.0<f4/|f6|<0. Therefore, the refractive power of the fourth lens element can be further increased.

When a sum of axial distances between every adjacent lens elements of the optical photographing lens assembly is ΣAT, an axial distance between the third lens element and the fourth lens element is T34, and an axial distance between the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element is T45, the following condition can be satisfied: 1.0<ΣAT/(T34+T45)<1.25. Therefore, a sufficient distance between lens elements closed to the object side and lens elements closed to the image side can be ensured, such that limitations of effective radii can be released so as to avoid problems caused by huge change of refraction such as surface reflection, and necessary image quality in a compact module can be achieved easily.

When the axial distance between the image-side surface of the sixth lens element and the image surface is BL, the axial distance between the third lens element and the fourth lens element is T34, and the axial distance between the fourth lens element and the fifth lens element is T45, the following condition can be satisfied: BL/(T34+T45)<1.25. Therefore, sufficient distances between the object side and the image side of the fourth lens element can be ensured to provide higher image quality.

When the maximum effective radius of the object-side surface of the first lens element is Y11, and the maximum effective radius of the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is Y62, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.80<Y11/Y62<1.05. Therefore, diameter of the optical photographing lens assembly can be limited to achieve a compact size, so that the optical photographing lens assembly can be applied to thin electronic devices.

When the focal length of the optical photographing lens assembly is f, and a curvature radius of the image-side surface of the fourth lens element is R8, the following condition can be satisfied: 2.5<f/R8<4.0. Therefore, the relative illumination on the peripheral region of the image surface can be enhanced by cooperation between the fourth lens element and lens elements in the object side.

Therefore, sufficient thickness in an off-axis region of the first lens element can be ensured so as to avoid the shape of the first lens element from being overly curved for designs with large apertures.

When the displacement in parallel with the optical axis from the axial vertex on the object-side surface of the first lens element to the maximum effective radius position of the object-side surface of the first lens element is Sag11, and a curvature radius of the object-side surface of the first lens element is R1, the following condition can be satisfied: 0.30<Sag11/R1<0.50. Therefore, proper thickness in the off-axis region of the first lens element can be ensured such that overly curved shape of the object-side surface of the first lens element can be avoid and the manufacturing yield can be increased.

When the focal length of the optical photographing lens assembly is f, and a maximum image height of the optical photographing lens assembly is ImgH, the following condition can be satisfied: 2.5<f/ImgH<4.5. Therefore, the telephoto property of the optical photographing lens assembly can be enhanced to function corporately with more photographing modes.

When a maximum field of view of the optical photographing lens assembly is FOV, the following condition can be satisfied: 20 degrees<FOV<50 degrees. Therefore, the telephoto property of the optical photographing lens assembly can further be enhanced.

When an f-number of the optical photographing lens assembly is Fno, the following condition can be satisfied: 1.20<Fno<2.50. Therefore, sufficient and proper illumination on the image surface can be ensured. Preferably, the following condition can be satisfied: 1.40<Fno<2.30.

When the axial distance between the object-side surface of the first lens element and the image surface is TL, the following condition can be satisfied: TL<7.0 mm. Therefore, a compact size of the optical photographing lens assembly can be maintained.

When a maximum of refractive indexes of all the lens elements of the optical photographing lens assembly is Nmax, the following condition can be satisfied: Nmax<1.75. Therefore, a balance between refractive powers and caused aberrations of each lens elements can be achieved.

Each of the aforementioned features of the optical photographing lens assembly can be utilized in numerous combinations, so as to achieve the corresponding functionality.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the lens elements thereof can be made of a plastic material or a glass material. When the lens elements are made of a plastic material, the manufacturing cost can be effectively reduced. When the lens elements are made of a glass material, the arrangement of the refractive power of the optical photographing lens assembly may be more flexible to design. Furthermore, surfaces of each lens element can be arranged to be aspheric (ASP), since the aspheric surface of the lens element is easy to form a shape other than spherical surface so as to have more controllable variables for eliminating aberrations thereof, and to further decrease the required number of the lens elements. Therefore, the total track length of the optical photographing lens assembly can also be reduced.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, when a lens surface is aspheric, it means the lens surface has an aspheric shape throughout its optically effective area, or a portion(s) thereof.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, each of an object-side surface and an image-side surface has a paraxial region and an off-axis region. The paraxial region refers to the region of the surface where light rays travel close to the optical axis, and the off-axis region refers to the region of the surface away from the paraxial region. Particularly unless otherwise specified, when the lens element has a convex surface, it indicates that the surface can be convex in the paraxial region thereof; when the lens element has a concave surface, it indicates that the surface can be concave in the paraxial region thereof. According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the refractive power of a lens element being positive or negative or the focal length of the lens element may refer to the refractive power or the focal length in the paraxial region of the lens element.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the optical photographing lens assembly can include at least one stop for eliminating the stray light and thereby improving the image resolution thereof.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the image surface, depending on the corresponding image sensor, can be a planar surface or a curved surface with any curvature, particularly a curved surface being concave toward the object side.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, at least one image correcting element (such as a field flattener) can be selectively disposed between a lens element closet to the image surface and the image surface so as to correct image aberration (such as the field curvature). Properties of the image correcting element, such as curvature, thickness, refractive index, position, surface shape (convex/concave, spherical/aspheric/diffractive/Fresnel etc.) can be adjusted according to the requirements of the imaging apparatus. In general, the image correcting element is preferably a thin plano-concave element having a concave surface toward the object side and is disposed close to the image surface.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, an aperture stop can be configured as a front stop or a middle stop. A front stop disposed between an imaged object and the first lens element can provide a longer distance between an exit pupil of the optical photographing lens assembly and the image surface to enable a telecentric effect, and thereby can improve the image-sensing efficiency of an image sensor. A middle stop disposed between the first lens element and the image surface is favorable for enlarging the field of view of the optical photographing lens assembly and thereby provides a wider field of view for the same.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, a critical point is a non-axial point of the lens surface where its tangent is perpendicular to the optical axis.

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, an inflection point is a point on a curve of a lens surface ranging from a paraxial region to an off-axis region of the lens surface where the center of curvature of the curve changes from the object side to the image side (or from the image side to the object side).

According to the optical photographing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the optical photographing lens assembly can be applied to 3D (three-dimensional) image capturing applications, in products such as digital cameras, mobile devices, digital tablets, smart TVs, network monitoring devices, motion sensing input devices, driving recorders, rear view camera systems, wearable devices, unmanned aerial vehicles and other electronic imaging products.

According to the present disclosure, an imaging apparatus is provided. The imaging apparatus includes the aforementioned optical photographing lens assembly according to the present disclosure and an image sensor, wherein the image sensor is disposed on or near the image surface of the aforementioned optical photographing lens assembly. With the proper distribution of negative power of the optical photographing lens assembly concentrating on the fourth lens element which is closer to the image surface, the telephoto property of the optical photographing lens assembly can be enhanced. Meanwhile, image quality in a peripheral region can also be increased for designs with large apertures. Preferably, the imaging apparatus can further include a barrel member, a holder member or a combination thereof.

According to the present disclosure, an electronic device is provided, wherein the electronic device includes the aforementioned imaging apparatus. Therefore, it is favorable for enhancing the image quality. Preferably, the electronic device can further include, but not limited to, a control unit, a display, a storage unit, a random access memory unit (RAM) or a combination thereof.
